How do I add a "squash" effect to a physics sprite?

Hey all

I have a Sprite with a physics behavior, And I've set it's image point to the bottom center. When I click a button, it's squshing towards the ground, which is great.

However, the sprite is rotating and the image point is the same, meaning if I press the button while it's rotated, it will not always squish down, but rather sideways or up.

Any way of always set the image point to its "current down"? maybe rotate the image point when rotating the sprite?

Thanks!

simply reset the sprite scaling by using the y axis and stretch it to -(squashed amount intended here) and then your done, and make sure it has the correct value intended and is affected by the physics behavior if your using physics and then resize the canvas of the collision sprite to the same as the y axis on the sprite...

truefalcon thanks, but I didn't fully understand what you meant by "reset the sprite scaling". I'm changing the sprite's height, not scale...

That's how you change it, there is no other way...
